Identify the followingcompound which exhibits geometrical isomerism:

Answer»

But - 2 - ene
But - 1 - ene
Butane
Iso - butane

Solution :The necessary and sufficient condition of a compound to exhibit geometrical isomerism is that the two groups attached to the same carbon must be DIFFERENT , i,e ., alkenes of the following TYPES show cis-trans isomerism .
ABC = Cab , abC= CCD , abC = Cax , abC = Cbx
Thus, out of the given examples , only but - 2- ene EXHIBITS geometrical isomerism.
